My initial reaction to it was to immediately change it out, but now, I think I'm gonna leave it on there because the darn thing works so well.
    Thanks for that.

    My "jury is still out" regarding the Madstad (due to the aesthetics of it) but if I ever would get another windshiled... it probably would be the Madstad.

    The dark smoke looks good on your bike as well.

    You're going to enjoy that ride, and + 1 on the windshield. I like the looks of it and it make the blue stand out. Ride safe

    Well, here in a few minutes, I'm gonna ride her up to Renegade HD in Alexandria, LA to their 13th Annual Crawfish Boil.
    I'm gonna park that big blue thing right in the middle of a whole big bunch of mostly black Harleys and go eat my weight in crawfish...LOL.
    This will be about 160 miles round trip and I'm sure I'll be heavier on the way back.
    We got lots of rain coming in here next week and I want to put a few miles on this bike beforehand.
    I also have a list of farkles about a mile long. I didn't realize how much "stuff" I've added to my trike over the years.
    I must have $4000 worth of "stuff" hanging off that thing and now need most of the same items on the F6B as well!
    Appreciate the warm welcome and comments from all you guys.
    Everyone ride safe and have a good weekend.

    Willtill,
    I measured it today and it's the 11" and the real dark gray. For one-up, I have it set all the way down and almost parallel to the inner one. I'm 5'9" and that setting lets me look over the top and keeps the wind off me. For 2-up, we found that raising it about an 1" and increasing the angle a little gives both of us a wind-free ride. All of this is done with a single short ride. I'm sure we'll be experimenting with it some more as time goes on. I put almost 300 miles on her today and that lowest setting worked fine for me.

    Sweet! Congrats. That blue looks good!
    I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God than in church thinking about my bike.
